from a single dock in 8-months. Over a pound of non-organic debris captured every week from one location.


Floating debris in our waterways isn’t just an eyesore — it can foul propellers, clog jet intakes and strainers, and impact marine life.South Florida canals are seeing increasing amounts of floating debris — bottles, foam, plastic fragments, and construction waste drifting through our waterways.DockMaid passively intercepts floating debris at the dock-level — capturing measurable amounts of non-organic debris each month.No engine or motor, consumes no fuel or electricity, makes no noise. Designed for simple deployement, quick servicing, and continuous use.


RESULTS FROM DOCKMAID DEPLOYMENT

36+ lbs of non-organic debris collected and removed from a single dock over 8 months

With initial deployment ongoing, DockMaid is expanding into a pilot program to test performance across multiple locations.A limited number of waterway residents & small marinas in Southeast Pompano Beach are being invited to participate.



HOW DOCKMAID WORKS

• Passively intercepts floating debris drifting along docks and seawalls
• Lightweight, simple unit tethers to your dock and is anchored in position
• Self-adjusts with tide, current, and wind
• Easy to service — retrieve using the tether or boat hook
• Remove, empty, and reseat the collection net
• Release the unit and allow it to return to its anchored position
• Simple flip design reduces marine growth and keeps maintenance quick
• No complicated installation or downtime
• No engine or motor — no fuel, no electricity, no noise, and no harm to wildlife

DockMaid can help transform our canals into cleaner, safer waterways.

What is DockMaid?
A compact, tethered dockside Interceptor that collects floating debris such as plastics and foam before it drifts out to the coastline.
Is DockMaid available yet?
A working prototype is currently being tested. The first MVP units will be piloted in 2026.
Does it need power?
No — DockMaid works passively. It uses the natural movement of wind, tide, and current to guide floating debris into the collection net.
Is DockMaid patented?
DockMaid is patent pending. A U.S. provisional patent application has been filed to protect its design and functionality.
